Yes, I have an S&W N frame 3" problem: ![[Linked Image from i.postimg.cc]](https://i.postimg.cc/cJTG1nVX/Nwheel3inch-S.jpg) OK, now I feel inadequate. Really nice!

The 3" K-Frame S&W revolvers are extremely hard to find nowadays and, when you can, you will have to pay a hefty premium for them vs a 2" or a 4", so it appears that many people share the same "problem." Most folks who have them are reluctant to let them go.

All I have in the 3” class are a Smith 44 Special that was a special run for a distributor many years ago, and a GP100 44 Special that I acquired when they were first introduced a few years ago. I’ll never get rid of either. Both were gifts from my son, SAS.
If we live long enough, we all have regrets. But the ones that nag at us the most are the ones in which we know we had a choice.

Lee Horton Distributors did arum of those 3” S&W Model 24’s in 44 special. I couldn’t think of the distributor’s name, but you are correct. They had a run of both M24’s and M624’s with the round butt grip frame. Mine is a M24. Late eighties or early nineties if I remember correctly.

I believe it was late 1980’s, if I recall correctly. I had one of the 624’s Sold it foolishly about 20 years ago.

I bought one of the 624’s when they first came out too. Eventually sold or traded it foolishly. I was very glad to have the one I have now gifted to me. Both of the Smiths shot and shoot really well, as does my GP100.

I think mine is getting closer to a 3” problem as I age. I was fighting the urge to post something. Thanks. While you went there, you held up short. I was gonna go the whole yard!

My 3” model 60 Smith is easy to shoot and carries well. Yes. I swapped the rubber-ish grip for a laminated boot grip. Seems to recoil less now. Still a bit peppy with full power .357s .. Federal 125s. I flattened a cougar that came at me in our yard last fall with it, bout 22-24 feet away and doing that low crouched cat thing right at me. I already liked the gun but now it is my new very best friend in the whole world. Saved my ass. Tom
